just figured you might as well get advice from someone who has a 3inch body lift. not just someone guessing.

They will fit especially since you have a leveling kit on the front once you install the 3" body lift with no issues at all. Ofcourse they will rub the radius arms a little but thats only at full lock on the steering and it wont hurt a thing.

Do you know any modifications that you need to do when you put a 3" body lift? I heard you had to cut the fan shroud, extend the radiator hose, and shifter linkage. Any others?

Yeah you will be fine and I think you meant to say leveling pucks under the coil springs right?

the only mods i had were to my transfer case shifter and my tranny shifter since i have a stick, but all i had to do was bend them a little. the body lift i got had drop brackets so no need to cut the shroud.

Why not just do a full suspension lift? you may have to save a little bit longer, but you will know its done right
